Severn Wye Energy Agency Energy Advocacy Herefordshire and Gloucestershire
Funded Project: Description
This project will support approximately 4,050 disadvantaged and vulnerable households who struggle with fuel poverty. The project will help households to understand their energy use, save energy in their homes, communicate with their energy providers, and access grants and other support to better manage their bills. Ultimately, the project aims to reduce the number of people falling into fuel poverty, saving a projected total of £877,000 on energy costs (£1.57m small measures lifetime-savings). The project will work with diverse communities including ethnic minorities, refugees, those with health conditions, and older people. This is a partnership between Severn Wye, Integrated Healthcare, Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (GARAS), and other community organisations.
